Use our USB Mobile Power Pack (MPP) with our Lil&rsquo; Sync&reg; Retractable Sync-N-Charge Cable to charge your devices. Designed with the mobile user in mind, it utilizes Li-ION battery technology and fits in the palm of your hand. We've stuffed a full 4400 mA capacity into this small package. You can recharge the MPP via your computer's USB port or you can use our USB AC Adapter or USB Auto Adapter.

It doesn't need to be something that connects to the Lil' Sync battery, just tell me which electronic device of yours always seems to need charging. That's it! There's one post per person allowed, and four winners will be randomly chosen. The contest will stay open for entries until April 7th, 2008.<br /><br />Special thanks to PPC Techs for their donation of this hardware!

My Cingular 8125 always seems to die a fast death when I use it with my Bluetooth headset.

My Cingular 3125. It's a bummer to run out of juice on a long trip when you're using your phone with a bluetooth GPS receiver to find your way.

My iPhone actually holds a charge quite well, but this could be dead useful for it on long international flights while I'm trying to watch rental movies on it.

Cellphone and iPod, both can use a little more juice.

This is easy. My new AT&T TILT never makes it to bedtime. I have always relented and gotten extended batteries for the likes of my old Axim, my Moto Q, etc., but this tilt is just heavy enough and thick enough, I just refused to submit. So......this little puppy would be welcomed for those jaunts away from all the other alternatives.

My AT&T 8525. Dies a quick painless death daily.

My wife and I would use this for our Zunes. We often have to take a 2 hour bus trip to see my mother. Although the Zune has a pretty good battery life, 2 hours on the bus (plus any waiting at the bus stops) takes a pretty good toll on the battery of the Zune. Ensuring we don't leave home without this unit, woould help make sure we don't run out of juice.

Plus, my wife often goes on long business trips so she could definitely use this while on the plane to recharge her Zune.

My HTC Touch... that 5 minute email check interval is a killer. :)

Cellphones (my Blackjack and my wife's Nokia.) My wife is perpetually not noticing that her phone is dead until she's out somewhere, and she never brings a charger on trips. Streaming audio on my Blackjack chews up the battery pretty fast.

My Blackberry 8703e since I used it all the time seems to drain more often lately. Probably need to check the last program I installed. This would be a very handy device to have in the backpack.

My Wing, especially when I'm listening to alot of music through BT headphones.

My Blackberry Curve can really suck the battery down. I can get through two days of light usage, but I don't usually have two days of light usage in a row. :D So, if I don't remember to charge it every night, or plug it in while I'm at the computer, I can run into trouble.

Between my Universal and Cingular 3125 I seem to be running out of juice every so often especially when stay too long on the internet or use the bluetooth sync.

My laptop is always needing a charge when I'm on the road. I finally bought an inverter, which concerns me a little since I've read about them causing electrical issues, but no problems so far.

Definitely my 8525

I always seem to be recharging the batteries for my 2 wireless desktop setups...

The wife's cell phone is CONSTANTLY dying (HTC P4000) and it drives me crazy as we need it for business. It has the worst battery life ever; at least this would be a device small enough to fit in our pocket to bring with us to charge it on the go... it's a start anyway! =)

My Nokia N800. That thing is either fully charged or beeping at me with low battery warnings.

KH

That would be my Motorola KRZR. My LG phones always seemed to hold a charge, but this one keeps surprising me. (My 8525 lasts much longer...)

All of my portable electronics run ou of juice at one point or another. It's either my PocketPC, my iPod, or my cell phone. This would be a great help with all of them!

This would be perfect for my eten x500+ on long flights.

alese

Hmm, let's see:
My HTC p3600 (Trinity) is used "too much" and needs charging every day sometimes it could even use some extra charge during the day just to get to the end of the day.
My Raon Everun has excelent battery life, but since I have installed 3G modem card the battery life had really decreased.

When I'm travelling abroad in a city by foot, I use an external BT GPS connected to my K-Jam. Usually, I drain it before the end of the day.

I have an HTC Advantage and an Axim x51v that never seems to stay charged up. :)

My handheld GPS is always in the most need of Power. This wouldn't work for that though, so I would say my PDA, when traveling, is always in need of additional power.

The battery on my Dell Axim x51v is getting old. Lost it last night while I was listening to mp3s in the car.

A device like this one-wow-when I am have a work day with multiple meetings at multiple locations, my Volvo and I sync up with my Blackjack w/ Bluetooth and I burn throught batts like a wild woman.

I would love a device like this because I am sick of having my calls start dropping just after lunch. While this is a well known weakness of Blackjack batts, it is maddening!

My AT&T Tilt can go a day or two without a charge, and while I typically charge it every night, carrying around this power pack could save some close calls I've had... no pun intended. :p

follick

I can recharge my PDA, my MP3 player and my cell phone.

My TyTnII is a wonderful phone but the battery just doesn't last. This Power Pack would be perfect.

Between my Tilt and iPod, and my travle schedule, its easy to forget to charge up before I leave the office, home or hotel. This device would solve these problems and still enable me to send that last email, make that last phone call, or relax listening to music or an audiobook.

This would be an excellent mate for my Hermes. I can see it getting a lot of use while traveling.

My old school BlackJack. It did pretty well for almost a year, but now I can only get about two days using both batteries. And worse yet it never fails that it will die on the drive home so I am caught with no phone for 30-45 mins. This would be great even just to use to tide me over in that situation.

M600i + 3G need a charge every single day ....

Would be useful for our OLPC laptop.

My Sprint Mogul is great, except for battery life with Bluetooth enabled. I need this!

This one is simple, My daughters cell phone, She never has it charged!!!! So what happens, she takes Mine!!!

My AT&T Tilt is, by far, the most power hungry device because I am always using it. A close second would be my Archos 605 PMP.

My Samsung i730 barely makes it through the day on a single charge.

iPAQ 112, so that I can use the WiFi more.

This would be great to keep my Cingular 8125 and bluetooth headset charged when I'm on the road and away from a power source.

My Zen Micro Photo always seems to die as soon as I get to the gym. It would be great to have a backup power supply.

As always, my Treo 650!

jdepew

My Axim x51v that I use largely for ePocrates. It never seems to last even half a day even with bluetooth and WiFi turned off. Of course, my now 2 years old Sprint A900 seems to need charging ALL the time. I never got to pick up one of these batteries and would LOVE one!

drummrsanonymous
04-10-2008, 03:35 PM
I'll add to the chorus of people with power-hungry smartphones. My AT&T Tilt never stays happy unless it's charged every night. Of course, it probably doesn't help that I always have Bluetooth on and constantly stream from Internet radio and my SlingBox.

txa1265
04-10-2008, 05:20 PM
This one is all about me and my iPaq 4355 ... I love that beastie, but the battery isn't quite what it used to be, and I need it to last longer so I don't have to constantly worry about lugging the huge adapter around with me!

Gen-M
04-10-2008, 06:08 PM
My Wibrain B1H only gets about 2 1/2 hours before it runs out, but I'll use this to power my Z800 HMD so that I don't tie up the single USB port on the Wibrain

Not sure which is worse, my ipod 5G or my RAZR. Both have pathetic battery life. Help!
